Homebrew Boneclaw Species Details
Boneclaws are a species of skeletal undead resembling the common skeleton for the most part. However two defining features set it apart from its common counterpart, it's tall demeanor, and more notably, it's amazingly long arms sometimes reaching 20ft long. No one knows where Boneclaws came from, some believing they were the result of a necromancers tampering, others believing they came from a plane of negative energy. Many are found in servitude to liches, which might be a hint to their unknown past. They seem to be enthralled by negative emotions, and even the ones that aren't completely enthralled by the thought seem to be mildly drawn to them.
Boneclaw Traits
You have the following racial traits.Age
Boneclaws are undead, and having already passed away they are sustained by dark magic, however once they die they cannot be brought back.
Alignement
Due to being birthed from malice, used as servants by the liches who created them and their strange enthrallment of dark thoughts Boneclaws generally lean to the evil side. However some fail to fit the mold, perhaps due to low exposure to evil or perhaps for some deeper issue with their birthing.
Size
Boneclaws tower over most common undead, being between 7 and 10ft tall. Most usually sit near the 8ft range.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30ft
Necrotic Birthing
Boneclaws are birthed from the necrotic malice of their lich masters and are exposed to it from their first moments in this world. Due to this constant exposure, and as it is part of their very body they have a complete immunity to necrotic damage.
Weak Stature
Similar to your lesser skeletal relatives your stature is much weaker than a humanoid due to the lack of fat and muscle that protects them. Therefore your bones are susceptible to brute force. You have vulnerability to bludgeoning damage.
Long Reach
Boneclaws are created with a major difference from other skeletal undead. They posses massive arms, that can reach unusually large distances. As a result all melee attack rolls you make have the reach property.
Languages
Boneclaws speak both common and the main language of their lich creator.
